Opinion
No. 2007-10478.
May 4, 2010.
Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Queens County (Knopf, J.), rendered October 31, 2007, convicting him of robbery in the second degree (two counts), upon a jury verdict, and imposing sentence.
Lynn W. L. Fahey, New York, N.Y. (Steven R. Bernhard of counsel), for appellant.
Richard A. Brown, District Attorney, Kew Gardens, N.Y. (John M. Castellano, Johnnette Traill, and Josette Simmons-McGhee of counsel), for respondent.
Before: Covello, J.P., Santucci, Angiolillo and Dickerson, JJ.
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
Contrary to the defendant's contention, the trial court properly denied his challenge for cause to a prospective juror. The record does not support a finding that the prospective juror had an actual bias or otherwise possessed a "state of mind that [was] likely to preclude [her] from rendering an impartial verdict based upon the evidence adduced at the trial" (CPL 270.20 [b]; see People v Hernandez, 222 AD2d 696, 696-697; People v Archer, 210 AD2d 241, 241-242).
